Threads on The Cranberry Cupboard website

We have been working very hard on the website.  I have been working on the overdyed threads.  Gentle Art Sampler threads are complete....even the new colors.  The pictures show the colors as true as possible.

Weeks Dye Works is almost finished.  The new colors have to be added and then they will be complete.

Crescent Colours are all listed and I'm adding pictures as quick as I can.

Hope you enjoy the shopping pleasure.  They are truly 'eye candy' to me.

Check out the website.   http://www.thecranberrycupboard.com/

Little House Needleworks

Three new charts from Little House Needleworks are being released this week.  First we have the latest ornament, Deck The Halls.
Liberty reminds me of penny rug designs....and I love penny rugs.
Thirteen Colonies....what can I say.  Diane says it's her largest design and I say it is surely one of my favorites.  As you can see, the center of the design is solidly stitched.  This may pose a tension challenge for those who stitch in-hand.  I suggest using a hoop, stretcher bars, or q-snap for this section.  It will help to keep your stitches from getting too tight.  This is a definite stitch for me.

JBW Designs Nashville Releases

Judy has just released 6 great little charts. I love this format.  It's just the right size to put in my purse and go.
Each one of these designs could be personalized with names and dates. The baby designs could be cute quick samplers or done for a special holiday.

I think the Scottie is just perfect for all the dog lovers among us.

I am always asked for a suggestion for someone's anniversary. " I need something different and quick. And I want to put their names and the dates of marriage and now." I have always needed to suggest different designs for the 25th and 50th anniversaries. Would'n Wedding Bells be a perfect fit for that need.

It's Nashville Market Time













Hello Stitchers!
Let me please take a moment to thank everyone for their well wishes for me and my husband. He is doing much better and we hope when he sees the doctor on the 29th of this month that he will be released from their care. It's been a long long winter...between the weather and his being hospitalized. We sure are looking forward to SPRING!!!

But my main thought on blogging today is all the new and exciting charts that have been arriving. Many are here already and more will be here by the end of the month. Nashville Market is this weekend and the poor UPS drivers will be very busy next week.

I'm adding pictures as fast as I can to the blog and then to the website. I'll be at it all weekend so please check back often.
From Shakespear's Peddler, we have Hope Springs Eternal, Tread Lightly, A Sampling by Ann, Jenny Bean's Creation Sampler. Not pictured is Ann Grant Reproduction Sampler.

Where did January go ???

Just how far behind can a few snow storms and a respitory infection put you? Let me tell you I feel like I'm still in last year.

I know from emails and electronic invoices that many new items will be waiting for me when I get to the shop tomorrow. The new Blackbird Design chart is there. The new Little House Needleworks and Country Cottage Needleworks charts are there. Also Lizzie Kate charts will be there.

Before I got sick, I placed a huge order with Gentle Art and that will be there. So if you need Gentle Art Threads....The Cranberry Cupboard is the place to go!

I also placed a large order with Hoffman Distributing and for the life of me, I can't remember all that I ordered.....it's going to be like Christmas morning when I get to the shop tomorrow.


VERY IMPORTANT....We are still having our in-shop "Bowl Week Sale" this week. They are calling for bad weather for Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning but if I can get on the road, I will be there. Check here on Tuesday and I will post if I cannot get to the shop. If the weather becomes a problem, we just might have to extend the sale for another couple of days...I'll let you know later this week.

This is an 'in-shop' sale but those online customers can email your requests and if we have it, you will receive to the 20% discount.

I will scan the new items and update tomorrow and all week. Til then keep safe and virus free...
